August: Osage Filming in Oklahoma

It was no surprise that last weekend’s casting call for August: Osage County drew more than 4000 people (who wouldn’t want to be in a movie with Julie Roberts and Meryl Streep?!) but the producers are still looking for potential extras for the film.

The next open casting call for August will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Bartlesville High School, 1700 S.E. Hillcrest Drive, Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

According the Oklahoma Film & Music Office, the production will spend eight weeks filming in the Bartlesville and Pawhuska areas beginning Sept. 24.

The movie is based on Tulsa native Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play. “It starts shooting in late summer in a house they found in Pawhuska, OK, that is absolutely perfect,” Letts recently told reporters.
